This block is for Melissa in my Block Swap 2 group. Based on this tutorial over at Cluck, Cluck, Sew.

I couldn't make it with the simple, oval leaf shapes--I made mine a tulip tree. One of my favorite trees when I was studying botany in college. One of my friends has one in her yard at her new house--lucky! I think they have a very cool leaf shape and pretty flowers too. If you were wondering, the scientific name is Liriodendron tulipifera.

This is so beautiful. I have a tree obsession. I love pics of them and art with trees in it. My favorite tree just happens to be a tulip tree...I am lucky enough to have one in my yard...my Mom planted it for me 19 years ago (I live in the home I grew up in). I love this block thank you for posting it!

Love it! And thanks for reminding my about the tulip tree - we had a hughe one in our front yard growing up. It's one of the few trees whose scientific name I remember from college - OH so long ago - Liridendron tulipifera!
